A couple of weeks ago Keith Mealy (I think) posted a link to a cremains cask for veterans. I decided to build one so I selected a piece of slightly spalted black walnut for the lower section and a piece of burled walnut for the top. Unfortunately, The burled piece wasn’t quite wide enough so I had to glue them but the results were beautiful. The sides were sanded to 400 grit and the top was sanded to 1000. Oddly, it took 5 coats of GF Arm-R-Seal to get the look I wanted. On a slightly different note, I was honored this week by a sale on my Etsy store of a burial flag case. It will hold the flag of a vet that died in 1945 in WWII. I’m humbled by the privilege to build it.
